is there anyone keeping a single species , tank I was thinking of a 30g with 50 or more small tetras-and maybe a few shrimp but no other fish

I have a couple of tanks like that. Just w/o the shrimp. Single species only.

if u spray paint the back (outside) of the tank with black, use black substrate, dim lighting, lots of live plants, and use HUGE shoals of cardinal and/or neon tetras, along with HUNDREDS of cherry shrimp, the results will be breath-taking!

Yea thats a great idea but instead of painting the tank,What i did was i bought a piece of plexi glass cut it to the exact size of the back of my tank.Now all i do is eather paint it the color i want or i tape a background onto it.Makes changing looks alot easier!

it was actually a very experienced friend who told me that idea. i'll have to ask him/her for pics.

i just use laytex based paint. then you can just peel it off the back of the tank and repaint it when you want
